How to Make Angel Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, and 1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Cut 1/2 cup shortening into the dry flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the yeast mixture and 2 cups buttermilk to the bowl. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 5-6 times by folding the dough over itself.
- Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk or cream.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
